Most people don't see that as government intruding on their lives, as it was never allowed before. Most people go to church, and their pastor tells them it's on the same moral plane as bestiality and kiddie porn.

I think you're pretty far from reality with the "most people" part.

But regardless, I could sign a petition that "Small government requires everyone shave their balls" but that doesn't actually make it small government, it just makes me a fuging idiot.

soldiers do whatever they're fuging told and oh btw soldiers have willfully done far worse things than "fire on an american citizen who is peacefully leaving the union" in every single war in american history without question

it would take about as much propaganda to convince them to kill secessionist (see: treasonous) americans as it took to convince them to enlist to fight in illegal wars against countries that posed no threat to us in the first place. hey they might even give them a medal!
